Even though Yitty had been unhappy about Cillian’s various actions before and there was even a point when she started to like him less, she knew very well what kind of person he was. He was not the kind of person to take advantage of another person, but why did she feel so angry? Yitty wiped away her tears and looked up at Cillian to say, “Alright. I’ll give you a chance to explain. Tell me why you’re in this room. Where’s Lucy?”Cillian said to her patiently, “You started drinking in this room, and Lucy couldn’t make you stop. She went downstairs to get help, and that’s why I came here.”“Well… Um… Why were we… doing that on the couch just now?”Cillian pretended not to understand. “What were we doing?”“Well… that…”Yitty could not bring herself to say it. She punched Cillian in the chest. “You know what I mean. I don’t want to explain it so clearly.”Cillian gave a soft laugh. “That’s because you were drunk and didn’t even know who was with you. You grabbed me into your arms
Yitty was almost blowing up. “What are you doing, Cillian?”Cillian said nothing but pressed the chattering Yitty against his chest.His embrace was warm, and Yitty could clearly hear his beating heart thumping even more wildly.“I’ve told you before that I don’t blame you, Cillian. It was a one-sided thing. But what exactly do you want from me now?”Yitty suddenly felt upset. Cillian had ignored her before, and after that incident between them, Cillian even wanted to draw a clear line between them. The more she thought about it, the angrier she was, but she felt more sadness than anger.She began sniffling the next instant, and her eyes turned red. Her tears were almost falling.Yitty thought about how cheap her tears were tonight. She had already cried in front of Cillian once, and she was crying again now.She was never someone like that. She was someone who could command others. Her subordinates respected and feared her.Yitty had never been someone to hesitate, but when it
Cillian took a deep breath. He did not expect Yitty to be so heartless about this. She was speaking as if there never was anything between them.Has Yitty really lost all her feelings for him?Cillian felt like the sky was falling. A part of his heart had collapsed, and it felt like nothing could ever repair it.He was in despair as he fell limply onto the couch. However, his gaze never left Yitty.There was no expression on Yitty’s face, and it showed no emotion.Cillian tried to search for any sign of sadness or sorrow on her face but found nothing.Matthew’s words suddenly rang in his mind. 'If you really love her, you should tell her immediately no matter what the outcome is.'Cillian knew that he could no longer suppress this. He had feelings for Yitty, and he had them since the day they met. No one had been able to enter his heart since then.The past was in the past and the most important thing was to cherish the person right in front of him.Cillian finally understood
“Are you telling me the truth, Cillian?”Cillian looked at Yitty’s hand that was grabbing him. He took it in his and nodded seriously at her. “Yes, I’m telling you the truth. It’s straight from my heart. There’s nothing else I can say if you don’t believe me.”After all, Yitty did not believe him before as he had used up all of her trust.Cillian did not ask for her to believe his words. All he knew was that he wanted to tell Yitty about how he really felt. That way, he would have no regrets.However, it hurt a lot for him to wish her happiness. It hurt so much that his fingers were trembling from it.“If what you said was true, why are you leaving?”He smiled bitterly. “Wouldn’t it be awkward between us if I don’t leave the room?”Yitty gave a long sigh. “If you were telling the truth, you shouldn’t leave the room.”Cillian was surprised at this. He asked, “Why?”Could it be…“Lucy was right. You are a blockhead… Maybe it’s better that I make it clear. Beating about the bush
That was a burn to Matthew. After Cillian confessed his feelings, all that was left for them to do was to get intimate. Why would Lucy and Matthew need to go upstairs? “I was being stupid. Let’s go, Lulu. You’ve been so busy that you haven’t had anything to eat. The palace kitchen has prepared some supper. Do you want to have some?”Lucy rubbed her empty stomach and nodded.She was famished, but there was too much to do today. Not to mention the situation between Cillian and Yitty as well. She had her hands full and there was hardly enough time for rest. Even her empty stomach had to endure its hunger. It was not until Matthew mentioned this that her stomach began growling.Matthew burst out saying, “Looks like I know you really well. I even know when you get hungry.”“Of course. You practically live in my heart and mind. What don’t you know about me?”They joked with each other as they walked to the dining area that Juliana had arranged for them.The Charleston palace was re
Lucy was not about to let Charlotte have her way. She waved all the staff members off, and they quickly left.Charlotte was furious. She wanted so much to throw the glass of water on the table onto Lucy’s face. She grabbed the cup and was about to throw the water when Matthew stopped her.“You…” Charlotte did not manage to finish her words. She exclaimed when Matthew stopped her with everything he got. Charlotte rubbed her wrist and realized that it was red from being gripped by him. She felt that her bones were almost crushed by him.Matthew had always been a gentleman. He would never act violently when thugs harassed him at times during work. He would even treat them politely when dealing with them. Even Lucy rarely saw this sight of him when he was being impatient.He ignored Charlotte’s objections and took a seat at the table as if nothing had happened.Matthew’s voice rang out clear and crisp in the air. Everyone heard him say, “You shouldn’t talk with your mouth full. Care
Lucy let out a snort of laughter.She just could not understand Charlotte. They might have the same fancy title and live in the same grand palace that everyone dreamed about, but they were as different as night and day.Their thoughts, actions, and the way they lived their lives were worlds apart. Whatever Lucy said, it was like Charlotte was from another planet."I might not get it, but I do know that blowing money left and right is not cool. Mom's right about that, and I wish you'd see that she's just trying to help."Lucy made a face. "If you don't want to eat, fine. It's not like anyone's making you."Charlotte would not let it go. Lucy was tired of arguing and went upstairs to see how Cillian and Yitty were doing. However, Charlotte kept at it. "Me, wasteful? Show me how! I only use what I need. Plus, our country's loaded, so what's the big deal if I live it up a bit?"Talking to her was like talking to a brick wall.Lucy remembered the tough times when she had to pinch p
Lucy shook her head, not agreeing with Matthew. She really did want to help Charlotte with her advice, but Charlotte just would not listen.Matthew, still trying to keep a straight face, pointed upstairs. "If you want to check on them, you'd better go now. It's late, and we've got a lot to do tomorrow."Lucy did not waste any time and headed for the stairs.…In Cillian and Yitty's room, they were whispering sweet things to each other.They had finally let down their walls and were truly listening to each other. Before, they could not even be called friends because they argued so much.Yitty remembered how Cillian used to only have eyes for Lucy. He did not care about anyone else, and the thought of someone getting close to him was just a dream.Yitty had liked him for a long time. Even though she realized it late, she still figured it out way before Cillian, who was clueless until the very end.After a while of being all lovey-dovey, Cillian suddenly thought of something he di
